Ten things you never knew about Michael Moore and were probably too busy to ask

Posted on 10/12/2003 10:22:06 AM PDT by Bush_4_2004

1. Michael Moore is a life-member of the National Rifle Association of America. (He joined in a bid to challenge Charlton Heston for its presidency and disband it from within, obviously). 2. He lives with his wife and his daughter in a $1.2m home in New York City.

3. While at school, he won a merit badge as an Eagle Scout for putting on a slide show that exposed environmentally unfriendly businesses in Flint.

4. He directed the Rage Against The Machine video Sleep Now In The Fire, which was filmed outside the New York Stock Exchange. At the end of the shoot, which had turned into a chaotic, impromptu concert, he was arrested and the Stock Exchange was forced to close down.

5. The New York Times has never reviewed Moore's controversial book, Stupid White Men - even though it was on their bestseller list for 59 weeks.

6. He hosted bingo games in his house to raise the money to finish his first film, Roger and Me.

7. Stupid White Men was due to be released on September 12, 2001. In the light of the terrorist attacks, publishers HarperCollins got cold feet and asked Moore to re-write 50% of the book. He refused. Five months later, the book was released unchanged.

8. Aged 18, he became one of the youngest people in the US to be elected to public office when he won a seat on his local school board.

9. When Bowling For Columbine was screened at Cannes in May 2002, it received a record 13-minute standing ovation.

10. He is an honorary Canadian.

How would you be part of a Freep?

I'm surprised about #2. I can't believe any woman would willingly mate with that quivering pile of rot.

You forgot that he sued a former employee for stalking him with a video camera, as MM did with his victims.

Just when you think Canada can't go any lower, they honor this pathetic, ugly, fat loser.

By the way, are you Michael Moore?

Violation of gambling laws?
